Answer 1

Answer:

The 7.14% of her income is the income tax .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A house painter has an annual income of $35,000 and paid $2,500 in income tax.

Here

Part value = $2500

Total value = $35000

Put in the formula

$Percentage = \frac{2500\times 100}{35000}$

$Percentage = \frac{250000}{35000}$

$Percentage = 7.14\ (Approx)$

Therefore the 7.14% of her income is the income tax .
